[OOC] House Millithor in City of the Spider Queen II

[Endur]

I'm not opposed to thie idea. Shoot me an email at EndurStonehelm@yahoo.com and we'll discuss it.

Hi, people.
I'd like to ask if it would be possible for me to join in. I've heard lots of good stuff about the game from Xael, and I'd like to try my hands on a concept that just a couple of hours ago formed in my head: a drow fighter focused on daggers.

Pretty please?

You can buy a +5 short sword, it just increases the risk level.

There are only so many spellcasters that can make a +5 weapon. So the more powerful the spellcaster that is required to make the item, the more likely it is that the wrong people will hear of your purchase.

Okay, so I can't take a +5 short sword, but I can take a short sword with +5 equivalents, like a +1 speed short sword of frost?

And uhh, even if my weapon's adamantite, I'm still getting my ass kicked by Endur in melee combat.

And how do the drow feel about taking that risks for my equipment?

I think a lot of it will just come down to what happens to be available.
If you manage to find a +5 sword before the Matron decides it's time
to leave, more power to you.

That's why I listed the if/else block in my shopping list. If someone happens
to have the "rare" stuff I want, great. If not, no big deal, but I'm not going
to spend a lot of time/effort/risk trying to find it.

I can't argue with the logic of that, but I don't think it will be the matron's decision as I'm sure chaos will fallow us yet again.

I was more thinking on the social aspect of the whole thing. It's one thing to risk your head for your own causes. Something everyone would be doing if we went looking for the pearls. (I Include Kilcif in this as he is in it for the money.) Now if say we went looking for a Morningstar +5, as much as I think that weapon and my presence will help the drow cause, it’s not entirely their cause… Why should they care about rather or not their hired help was well armed?

Just a quick reminder that Matron Ki'Willis has never seen nor heard of a drow elf that was returned to life through the spell Raise Dead. To the best of her knowledge, this spell is ineffective on drow elves.

That went better than I had expected.

I'm sorry I've been a bit absent lately, I've had a lot to do irl, but it seems I'm going to have more time on my hands this week.

Hi, Dalamar. As far as I'm concerned you are welcome to join us, but it's not my desicion. Btw. We really need a heavy tank kind of fighter, someone with a lot of hit points, armour and offensive power.

 

[Xael]

That went better than I had expected.

I agree. I've got too many spells. And I need more...

Check the rogue's gallery thread. Not exactly what you're looking for...

Shopping went *much* better than I'd expected. Too bad I didn't ask for more!
